The EcoSEC GPC System is engineered to minimize system dead volume. The semi-micro design allows the use of GPC columns with smaller ID (4.6 mm) and shorter lengths (15 cm) such as the TSKgel SuperMultiporeHZ columns. Together with a small stroke volume pump and a 2.5 μL RI flow cell, the EcoSEC GPC System allows accurate and precise molar mass measurements, particularly when benefiting from state-of-the-art column technology. www.tosohbioscience.DE 2 GPC EcoSEC GPC System table 1 Component Description Benefit Semi-micro design The EcoSEC GPC System is engineered for low volume by reduced tubing lengths, low dead volume flow cells, and small stroke pumps. Maintains the efficiency of semi-micro columns (4.6. mm ID x 15 cm). The result is no loss of resolution at 1/6 the flow rate and 50% of the run time compared to conventional (7.8 mm ID x 30 cm) columns. Control panel Allows the system to be controlled manually at the discretion of the operator. Saves time by controlling a series of operations without the use of the computer or software. Autosampler 100 sample capacity, 1 to 1,500 µL per injection. Automatic sample injection for unattended, around the clock operation. Purge unit and degasser 20 and 40 mL solvent volume; variable degassing capactiy (for semi-micro or 30 cm column). Saves time with rapid solvent changes via purge valve eliminating solvent replacement and other time-consuming manual operations. Temperature controlled pumps Pump heads and solvent lines are maintained at a constant temperature. Improves baseline stability by removing the effect of temperature fluctuations. This results in consistent and accurate flow rates and reproducible molar mass determinations. Column oven Engineered for precise (+/- 0.02°C) column temperature; oven can accomodate up to 8,30 cm length columns. Constant column temperature ensures precise and reproducible molar mass determinations. RI detector Low dead volume flow cell, 2.5 µL. Solvent flows through a separate reference cell.

Light scattering detector (optional) Up to 7 angle MALS design. Absolute molar mass determination on the widest range of polymer sizes. Viscometry detector (optional) Unique 80/20 split between sample and reference flow paths. Reduces run times by up to 50% compared to 50/50 split flow path detectors. measuring UV-absorbing Tosoh bioscience ANALYSIS INSTRUMENTS 3 GPC EcoSEC GPC System As shown in Figure 1, when run on the EcoSEC GPC System, the TSKgel SuperMultiporeHZ-N (4.6 mm ID × 15 cm) column achieves separation efficiency equivalent to that of a conventional high-speed column (7.8 mm ID × 30 cm), but analysis time is reduced to half that of a conventional column and one-sixth the amount of solvent is consumed. Figure 2 shows an example of an oligomer (A-500) separation using four TSKgel SuperHZ2000 GPC columns in tandem performed using an EcoSEC GPC System and a competitive GPC system. A faster analysis and improved resolution is achieved with the EcoSEC GPC System as a result of the advanced engineering design of the system. The combination of the EcoSEC GPC System and semimicro columns provides significant solvent related cost savings while doubling sample throughput without compromising resolution. As shown in Table 2, the solvent related cost savings are extraordinary for samples requiring expensive solvents such as hexafluoroisopropanol.

In this type of detector, light emitted from a source is transmitted through the flow cell of the RI detector and strikes a detector element. The flow cell is constructed in such a way that there are two separate, triangular pyramid shaped compartments (sides): (1) the reference side, consisting of stagnant pure solvent; and (2) the sample side, containing a flowing stream of analyte in the same solvent as in the reference side. As the light passes through the reference side into the sample side, the direction in which the light is travelling is changed, e.g., the path is bent. The amount of bending that takes place depends on the nature of the flow cell, the wavelength of the light being used, and the temperature and the concentration of analytes in the cell. Figure 3 Reference cell containing only solvent The light then strikes a mirror and reflects back through the cell to two photodiodes mounted on a single chip. The two photodiodes will produce equal signals if the contents of the reference and sample sides have the same refractive indices as each other (Figure 3). In contrast, if the reference and sample sides have different refractive indices, a voltage difference will result between the photodiodes because the two photodiodes detect the difference in light intensity due the bending of the light beam, as shown in Figure 4. The difference in refractive indices between the two sides produces a voltage difference proportional to the concentration of the analyte in solution. Figure 4 Sample cell containing only solvent Depiction of RI detector flow cell when the contents of the referecne and sample sides have the same refractive indices as each other Reference cell containing only solvent Sample cell containing solvent plus analyte Depiction of RI detector flow cell when the contents of the reference and sample sides have different refractive indices Tosoh bioscience ANALYSIS INSTRUMENTS 5 GPC EcoSEC GPC System Dual Flow Refractive Index Detector The refractive index detector in the EcoSEC GPC System is unlike any other refractive index detector on the market due to its unique dual flow design. The EcoSEC GPC System RI flow cell is constructed in such a way that there are two sides: (1) the reference side, containing a flowing stream of pure solvent; and (2) a sample side, containing a flowing stream of analyte in the same solvent as in the reference side (Figure 5). Another benefit of the dual flow cell is rapid attainment of baseline stability when the instrument is first started, as purging is not required. A stable baseline can be achieved by flowing only 50 mL of solvent through the instrument. Additionally, the reference side mobile phase can be sent to waste or recycled back to the solvent bottle. The unique dual flow design of the EcoSEC GPC System results in superb RI baseline stability and reduced RI baseline drift. In a conventional RI detector, over time, the refractive index of the stagnant pure solvent in the reference side will slowly change and the two photodiodes will no longer produce equal signals, thus the contents of the reference and sample sides have different refractive indices and will produce a voltage difference similar to that of an analyte in solution. For example, the refractive index of THF slowly alters over time, due to the buildup of peroxide-related compounds, resulting in baseline drift (Figure 6). The dual flow design of the RI detector in the EcoSEC GPC System compensates for the changes in refractive index of the solvent over time by continuously flowing pure solvent through the reference side of the flow cell. The EcoSEC GPC System offers unmatched baseline stability because it is the only GPC system which uses a dual flow refractive index detector and temperature controlled pumps. Baseline stability is essential for the accurate calculation of polymer molar mass averages. For example, computer simulations predict a polymer with a polydispersity index (PDI) of 5 will have an 18% error for Mz if baseline instability leads to a 4% error in peak width determination. In addition, a 2% uncertainty in baseline height will result in a 20% error in Mz1.

As shown in Figure 7, five consecutive injections of polystyrene standards with run times deliberately extended to one hour without auto zeroing the detectors between injections, resulted in an extremely stable baseline with low baseline drift on the EcoSEC GPC System and a significantly drifting baseline on the two conventional GPC systems. In comparison 50 to the conventional GPC systems, the EcoSEC GPC System has both a lower baseline drift and a better signal to noise ratio.

A series of sixty injections of polystyrene were made over a time period of ten hours. For each instrument the elution volume at peak maximum was measured; the resulting data is shown in Figure 9 below. The elution volume drift of the EcoSEC GPC System was about 20% lower than that of the conventional GPC system. Figure 10 demonstrates the superiority of the EcoSEC GPC System for the determination of weight average molar masses. Figure 11 shows a comparison of Mw reproducibility for a sample injected 10 times a day for 5 days on the EcoSEC GPC System compared to a conventional GPC. The reproducibility of the EcoSEC GPC System was superior by a factor of 3 to that of the conventional GPC system. Figure 10 The results shown demonstrate that the engineering design concepts of the EcoSEC GPC System result in a high degree of reproducibility of elution times and molar mass determinations. 1.00 Polycaprolactone MW = 15,000g/mol %CV Mw Precision Molar mass averages can be affected by changes in the environment and measuring conditions. Generally, these variations are the result of one or more factors including flow rate reproducibility, baseline drift and injection reproducibility. In addition to controlling column temperature, Tosoh engineers added temperature control for both pumps and inlet and outlet tubing on the EcoSEC GPC System to deliver top GPC analysis performance.

The results are displayed in Table 3. Reproducibility from system-to-system and location-tolocation is exceptional with the EcoSEC GPC System. Coefficients of variations for all mass determinations were all well below 1%. Because of the high instrument-to-instrument reproducibility of the EcoSEC GPC System, methods developed at one location, e.g., an R&D laboratory, can be reliably transferred to a second site, e.g., a QC lab at a manufacturing site, and so on.

By installing an optional column switching valve and replacing the reference column with another analytical column, an analysis can be performed on column 1 while equilibrating column 2. After switching the valve, column 2 becomes the measurement column while column 1 will be in the flow path to the reference side of the RI detector flow cell. Since the column switching valve changes column sets while the oven door remains closed and switches to an already equilibrated column set, a stable baseline is rapidly established.

When a new set of columns is manually placed on the EcoSEC GPC System and the flow rate is started, the RI baseline stabilizes after 80 - 90 minutes. When a new column set is brought online using the column switching valve, the baseline stabilizes after 15 minutes. (Experimental conditions: THF, 35°C, 0.35 mL/min, 20 minute warm-up at 50% flow rate). Figure 14 clearly demonstrates the 65 – 75 minute savings in time required to reach a stable baseline when the columns are switched using the column switching valve compared to manually changing columns.

The volume of the flow cell is reduced to 2 µL and the shortest time constant is 0.5 seconds. Copolymer Analysis The EcoSEC GPC System equipped with both RI and UV detectors can be used to determine the structural composition of an unknown copolymer, in which the copolymer contains one UV visible and one non-UV visible component. At least one copolymer of known composition must be available to create a copolymer calibration curve. The final result is a plot of the structural composition at each molar mass. This composition curve overlaid on the chromatogram, as seen in Figure 15, can be generated using the EcoSEC GPC Workstation Software. The software allows for the creation and use of separate UV and RI specific calibration curves while correcting for the inter detector delay volume. 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 8 x 104 6 x 104 RI 4 x 10 4 UV 2 x 104 0 % Copolymer Differential distribution Figure 15 5 Log molar mass Copolymer Analysis of Polystyrene-b-Polybutene Column:TSKgel SuperMultiporeHZ-M, 4.6 mm ID x 15 cm x 2; Mobile phase: THF; Flow rate: 0.35 mL/min, Detection: RI, UV@254 nm; Temperature: 40˚C; Injection vol.: 10 µL; Samples: PS-b-PB, 0.2 wt% www.tosohbioscience.DE 12 GPC Configuration options table 4 UV Detector Specifications UV Detector Specification System Dual beam, single flow cell Light source Deuterium lamp Wavelength range 195 to 350 nm Wavelength accuracy ± 2 nm Bandwidth 8 nm Range (FS) 0.5, 1, 2, 4 AU/1 V Response 0.5, 1.0, 3.0 seconds Drift 3 x 10-4 AU/h (254 nm, air in cell, response: 1.0 s) Noise 2.5 x 10-5 AU/h (254 nm, air in cell, response: 1.0 s) Flow cell volume 2 µL Safety mechanism Liquid leakage sensor; lighting time monitoring Tosoh bioscience ANALYSIS INSTRUMENTS GPC EcoSEC GPC System Ecosec Specifications PumpSpecification Flow rate 0.010 to 2.000 mL/min in 0.001 mL/min steps Accuracy +/- 2% Precision +/- 0.2% Maximum pressure 25 MPa or 3,500 psi Safety features Liquid supply stops if pressure rises above the upper limit or drops below the lower limit, Plunger drive count monitoring, Pan for liquid leakage Stroke volume 7.51 μL Auto-injector Injection volume 1 to 1,500 μL in 1 μL increments Number of samplesAir detection in wash solution and sample solution, Needle lock when the sample table is not loaded, Monitoring of 6-way and 4-way valve rotations Column Oven Temperature rangeAmbient plus 10°C to 60°C Capacity 7.8 mm ID x 30 cm x 8 columns Accuracy +/- 0.5°C Precision +/- 0.2°C RI Detector Type 13 Bryce or dual flow type, Tungsten light source (1.00-1.80 RI range) OpticsDeflection Cell volume 2.5 μL Cell pressure limit 0.5 MPa Noise 2 x 10-9 RI units (RIU) Drift 1 x 10-7 RIU/h (THF, 1.0 mL/min) Dynamic range +/- 2.5 x 10-4 RIU Temperature controlOff, 35°C, 40°C, 45°C Analog out For connection to third party light scattering and viscometry detectors Safety features Leak sensor and thermal fuse for circuit block Instrument Dimensions 680 (W) x 500 (D) x 550 (H) mm = 2.2’ x 1.6’ x 1.8’ Weight 95 kg = 210 lbs www.tosohbioscience.DE 14 GPC Applications HFIP Reproducibility Dr. Li Jia and co-workers at the University of Akron are investigating different synthetic routes for the formation of polypeptoids with alternating block structures. Highly reproducible data is needed to obtain subtle molar mass distribution trends from the various synthetic routes. The EcoSEC GPC System and a set of TSKgel mixed-bed columns were used successfully to obtain high quality molar mass distribution (MMD) data of a series of Dr. Jia’s block poly-ß-alkylalanoids with hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) as the mobile phase in under 15 minutes. As shown in Table 5, percent standard deviations are more than 10 x lower than values previously reported for polyamides in HFIP2. Percent relative standard deviation of the polydispersity index (PDI) ranged from 0.1 to 0.5%, permitting one to report PDIs within three significant figures. The high precision of the EcoSEC GPC System allows for the detailed study of polymerization reactions. Sample chromatograms from 4 selected poly-ß-alkylalanoid samples run on an EcoSEC GPC System using two TSKgel GMHHR-M, 5 µm, 4.6 mm ID x 15 cm columns are shown in Figure 16. Sample profiles display very little tailing and no baseline drift, allowing for highly precise data not available with conventional systems. All samples, with the exception of (C)40, contain almost symmetrical, narrow polymer profiles eluting around 6 minutes. The shoulder seen in (C)40 is indicative of another population of a high MW polymer component in the sample. table 5 Averaged Values from Three Consecutive Injections and the Percent Relative Standard Deviations SampleaMnbMwbPDIb Rel std devRel std devRel std dev (A)10(B)40 26,500 ± 10 0.04% 30,300 ± 30 0.11% 1.14 ± 0.01 0.09% (A)60(B)20 33,300 ± 170 0.52% 40,700 ± 28 0.07% 1.22 ± 0.01 0.50% (A)40(B)40 48,700 ± 220 0.45% 60,900 ± 160 0.26% 1.25 ± 0.01 0.10% (C)40 30,100 ± 50 0.18% 36,400 ± 140 0.37% 1.21 ± 0.01 0.39% a.

As shown in Figure 17, separation of the sample by GPC results in ten positive chromatographic peaks and two negative chromatographic peaks. The first nine chromatographic peaks correspond to components of the modified polyurethane prepolymer while the two negative chromatographic peaks are indicative of the solvent, THF. The latest eluting peak is a result of the residual DMSO present in the sample and is retained by a non-SEC retention mechanism, as it elutes after the void volume of the column. The molar mass averages Mn, Mw, and Mz of the sample, given in Table 6, were determined via a polystyrene relative calibration curve. The sample was found to have a weight average molar mass Mw ranging from 4,199 to 178 g/mol. The polydispersity index (PDI) shown in Table 6 for the entire sample, e.g., peaks 1 through 9, was 2.26 while the individual components of the polyurethane prepolymer had PDI values ranging from 1.01 to 1.09. From the PDI values it can be concluded that collectively the sample is polydispersed with respect to molar mass, but the nine visible components within the sample are virtually monodispersed with respect to molar mass.

Well-defined block copolymers of sulfonated polystyrene-b-fluorinated polyisoprene (sPS-bfPI), Figure 18, were synthesized by anionic polymerization followed by fluorination and sulfonation3.

Soft Matter, 2011, 7, 7960 3 Tosoh bioscience ANALYSIS INSTRUMENTS 17 GPC TSKgel columns and standards TSKgel GPC Columns Semi-micro Columns Tosoh introduced its first line of GPC columns in 1971. Ever since, Tosoh scientists have made important contributions to advances in polymer analysis by developing state-of-the-art GPC columns for the most demanding applications. Semi-micro columns are the TSKgel columns of choice for use with the EcoSEC GPC System. They are referred to as such since their dimensions are smaller than conventional columns in terms of internal diameter as well as in length: 4.6 mm or 6 mm ID x 15 cm vs. 7.8 mm ID x 30 cm.

One option is to use multiple columns of different pore sizes linked together in series. A second is to use a column packed with a mixed-bed resin of different pore sizes at an optimized mix ratio. However, problems can occur with both of these methods, which include distortion of the chromatogram or deviations between the actual calibration curve and the calibration curve approximated from data obtained from the molar mass standards. As is shown in Figure 20, a novel approach to solve this problem was developed by Tosoh scientists and is incorporated in TSKgel SuperMultiporeHZ columns. These columns are packed with small particles of uniform size synthesized with a broad distribution of pore sizes. This novel approach creates a linear calibration curve within each particle. Therefore, columns with an extended linear calibration curve can now be prepared without mixing particles of different pore sizes. Their small ID (4.6 mm ID) and length (15 cm) reduces solvent consumption, results in quick run times, and offers high throughput capabilities.

The use of the multi-pore technology ensures that the calibration curves have excellent linearity. There are three columns available within the TSKgel SuperMultiporeHZ columns, each with a different particle size, separation range, and exclusion limit. These columns can separate and characterize polymers within a wide molar mass range. Figure 23 As demonstrated in Figure 23, the TSKgel SuperMultiporeHZ columns have a highly linear calibration curve with a shallow slope, which indicates excellent reproducibility across various average molar mass values. The TSKgel SuperMultiporeHZ-N columns provide the same or higher resolution at a much shorter analysis time than multiple columns linked together, as shown in Figure 5.
